Not grace to bar what is not bliss,
Nor flight from all distress, but this:
The grace that orders our trouble and pain,
And then, in the darkness, is there to sustain.
~ John Piper
This evening at prayer meeting, a brother was handing out copies of this poem. I listened to Piper's sermon on sustaining grace repeatedly in the beginning of 2008. It was good to be reminded of it again.
